Supporting youth workers in keeping the centre buzzing
Viešoji įstaiga "Socialinis veiksmas"
Vilniaus atviras jaunimo centras „Mes“
Vilnius, Lituanie
Description
Our mission is to create a safe and welcoming space where young people can grow, discover their strengths, develop their potential, and learn responsibility at their own pace. The volunteer will act as an assistant youth worker, supporting daily operations during weekday open evenings by developing trust through informal communication, active listening, and participating in casual activities like games, cooking, and conversations. Key responsibilities include assisting the team with tournaments, movie nights, workshops, seasonal events, sleepovers, and youth-led initiatives, supporting summer camps, outdoor activities, and excursions during school holidays, as well as assisting youth with homework or practical skills. Additionally, the volunteer will be encouraged to design and lead their own personal project, such as a club, workshop, or special event, based on their unique interests and the needs of the youth centre. Looking to host 2 volunteers.

Profil du participant
We are looking for volunteers who are curious about working with young people in an open, informal and inclusive youth space. The volunteer does not need to be a professional youth worker, but should be willing to learn, observe, communicate and slowly become part of the everyday life of Vilnius Open Youth Centre "MES". The ideal volunteer is someone who feels comfortable in a dynamic environment, where every day can be different. The youth space welcomes young people with different moods, backgrounds, interests, needs and levels of motivation. Because of this, we are looking for a person who is patient, flexible and open-minded.
